HEART RACE...

HEART RACE


Written by: Prestige Ifeanyi Bernard and Neofloetry DaWina Scriblisis

Neo:

How shall my eyes not go to rest?
How can my heart not wear a crest?
Bearing the emblem of your face,
Causing my tender heart to race

Prestige:

Let our hearts race together
Their referee will declare no winner,
Listen intently to the sweet song of our union
It's famous sound track sold in billions

Neo:

Billions of whipped words that manifest;
In due season, no pest can infest,
On this garden of truths dressed,
To PRESs this grapes of love caressed

Prestige:

Caressed love can arrest all,
All who glare at us in sheer jealousy,
This jealousy will dry their bones,
Bones that remain single in me and you

Neo:

Every single bone in us is a strong test,
The sweet marrow of love we ingest
Our bodies will quiver in this space
Where eyes will visualize this tangle; a trace

Prestige:

My body wraps you up perfectly; a clove
A packaged gift for the goddess of love,
Bringing joy to her ancestors; the bunch
Who never saw an amazing sight of such

Neo:

Oh, how I marvel at this true conquest,
The reason I beheld your face; my best
I'll cleave to this, yes to embrace,
This surge of ecstasy; my perfect mace

Prestige:

Finding you is a discovery of an oil boom
Let me paint your features with black crude
We can take a long ride, on a water bed in a dark room,
Refilling our cup of pleasure in this love mood

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS OF SPOKEN WORD POEMS


VIVID VERSES, a poetry and spoken word franchise is calling for submissions to its project aimed at aiding talented Nigerian spoken word artistes in the production of their works.

ELIGIBILITY: The prize is open to spoken word artistes resident in Nigeria whether of Nigerian descent or not.

APPLICATION: All interested applicants are to send in 1 (ONE ) of their spoken word poems and a brief Biography including their full name and contact details to info@vividverses.org

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 1st, 2015

PROCEDURES
After the judges have quaintly evaluated the submissions, a list of the best ten pieces would be released and the authors would be asked to submit the audio recordings of their poem for further selection of the best 3 recorded poems. So you are advised to submit your best piece.

Each of the 3 winners would be granted a free production of their poem in one of the leading production firms.


NOTE
Vivid Verses is one of the biggest names in poetry and spoken word in Nigeria and so in as much as we allow for liberalism, we would not select any work that is out to pass contrary messages than what we stand for.

Poetry Video by: Enigmatic Olumide

#I COUNT

 THIS IS ONE POETRY VIDEO THAT WILL MAKE YOU THINK!

The much anticipated Video of Enigmatic Olumide is finally out!

Probably first of its kind, the video went extra mile into dramatic display, making it seem like a short film/story, but then the message remains the same:

"To the many souls being lost everyday, the many soldiers we lose, the many hearts quaking, the many repetition of same mistakes that lead us backwards, and the many dead I count...

This Video is a wake up call, not only for all Nigerians, but all Africans. I Count... You need to Count too."


Watch the video, share with friends, and download it.
